LT Anthony Belton will Not Start for NC State Against NIU After Ejection

NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren announced today at his weekly press conference that Redshirt Senior Left Tackle Anthony Belton will not start this Saturday against Northern Illinois, after being ejected this past Saturday in the game against Clemson for spitting on a player.

Here’s what Doeren had to say regarding Belton’s actions:

I was really disappointed in Anthony Belton’s response.

You know, things happen on the piles, and all kinds of things happen in piles. And we all know as players, and Anthony knows as a player, the guy that responds and retaliates is always the one that gets penalized, and a tough lesson for him.
